About Susan
Dr. Susan Frauenholtz uses a client-centered approach to help people who feel overwhelmed by life. She is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience and works from a strengths-based perspective. Many people come to her seeking more confidence, better relationships, or help coping with change and loss.
She focuses on practical conversations that name what matters most. She listens first, then helps people set small goals they can use between sessions. Her work often addresses anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, and stress related to caregiving or illness.
Dr. Frauenholtz blends approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to fit each person’s needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to build motivation and find workable steps forward. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented, not prescriptive.
Her background includes practice as a licensed independent social worker in Iowa and a licensed clinical social worker in Utah. She brings 20 years of experience to conversations about career strain, relationship friction, and challenges like ADHD or seasonal mood shifts. International clients may be supported when arrangements allow.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Dr. Frauenholtz emphasizes clear next steps so progress feels manageable from the start.
